Igbos, It Is Time To Build Bridges With SW & North by Nobody: 2:42pm On Nov 15, 2015
My Igbo brothers, it is time to play Nigerian politics like the big tribe that we are.

We may not love the SW or North but interest in permanent. Let us stop smearing the images of our men in the APC.

In life there is a time to stoop to conguer. Sometimes a man must bend low to win. The bible teaches that prides goes before a fall and also that humility comes before honour.

Let us put pride aside and build alliances with the north and SW so that after Buhari we can produce the next president of Nigeria.

Our own revered Chuba Okadigbo said when he was alive that there are many routes to Aso Rock but the fastest is through the north.

Let us stop trying to fight what we cannot change. The political weight of the north is second to none in this country and can never be overlooked.

A word is enough for the wise.

It would be a very difficult battle to get the present day Igbo crowd to agree to play strategic politics which involves strong alliances. Nothing is impossible though...

Your comments about Igbos often left much to be desired. You maybe of Igbo origin but that does not give you the right to disparage and disrespect Igbos in public.
Who are you referring to Calling your kiths and kin heidiots is distasteful. I bet disparaging your people in full view of outside shows how disloyal and untrustworthy someone is and can't be taking serious by those he/she is trying to please.

Hold the rants for another day, telling my kiths and kins the absolute truth isn't a sin if they are misbehaving.
Deep within you, you know the simple truth just like them but admitting that truth is the problem.
Since we can't tell the truth to ourselves then let the whole world know we all ain't gullible like the rest of you.

Yoruba and Hausa should just leave Igbos to form their own country.
They have rejected Igbo and done a lot of horrible things that has poisoned the spirit of Nigeria's independence in 1960. Igbos cannot be expected to live as slaves or second hand citizens in an african country and not do anything about it.

Igbos should and must leave Nigeria for hausa and yoruba. Let them enjoy Nigeria without Igbo. Afterall, That is what they always wanted anyway.

And you think you can absolve and distance yourself from the " supposed " misbehavior.
So the one Nigerian rants and mingling of igbos soon after the civil war and also the involvement of Igbos in to the mainstream politics from the time of Ekwueme till now isn't enough. Even Ojukwu had to contest too, that the Igbos didn't support him overwhelmingly doesn't mean the north and west shouldn't if they really wants Igbos in Nigeria. Igbos has had enough, it is not working anymore and it is time to try other means.
Let IPOB be shouting on one side and the " one Nigeria crew" on the other side , let's see who will achieve greatness for the Igbos. But disparaging the great Igbo nation in public is a NONO....if the traditional Igbo society is still envoque the person would've been banished.

Yorubas and Hausas never rejected Ndigbo but an Ijaw man except the Ijaws are Igbo now.
When was the last time you voted an Igbo president or vice?

So call for Buhari's Elected National Conference now. INEC can conduct Election to get 5 Delegates from each of our 800 Local Governments and FCT Area Councils. A total of 4000 Delegates is not unweidy for a population of over 150 million people to do the job of knitting together properly the Hausa/Fulani, the Yorubas and the Igbos.

We've built enough bridges to support others (OBJ and Yar adua) against our own. It is time for them to reciprocate and build bridges with us.

When the yorubers and hausas fall out with each other like they always do, they'll look east, then we'll give our terms and conditions. For now we remain where we are. 60 milions stong Igbo in the world are not push over.

We are on the top ten list of Ethnic groups in the world. It's time to farm on our farm. nigerian elections may not even hold in East, the way i see things.

Seriously, it's very very difficult for ibo people to coexist with or deal favorably with other tribes, this is not part of their make up or societal norms.


The average ibo is very paranoid, egotistic and exhibits flawed sense of superiority and varying sense of identity and self worth..

Kanu is a messenger of the Biafra gospel, others like him are creating awareness on the gross injustice against the Igbo nation and Biafrans as a whole. The silence of the purported Igbo leaders is pregnant. The IPOB is taking it step by step, exposing and making people politically aware of what's happening around the country and ultimately the final decision will be in the hands of the people via referendum not behind keyboards.
I am yet to see the "one Nigerian crew of Igbo extraction " achievements and manifestoes on how they will go about our continued existence in Nigeria. What have they done for the Igbos if not the same merry go round and continuous recycling of corrupt leaders.?
